Multi-award-winning Marini’s on 57 in Kuala Lumpur is set to host a Long Ash Challenge on 23 August. Sitting 267m above sea level in the heart of Kuala Lumpur City, Marini’s on 57 offers a close-up view of the Petronas Towers, KL Tower, and panoramic views of the city skyline, which will make it the ultimate venue for such a competition.

“The Marini’s on 57 Lounge is the perfect setting for one to enjoy high quality cigars and good drinks,” said a Marini’s on 57 spokesperson. “Once you enter, take a seat in one of our elegant leather chairs, sit back and enjoy the experience – savour the aroma and flavour of the cigar while you take in the view and ambience.”

Entrants in the challenge will enjoy a Partagas Serie D No 4 cigar from partner La Casa Del Habano Kuala Lumpur, three alcoholic beverages or premium mocktails, canapés and a copy of Cigar Journal Magazine.

“Marini’s on 57 is the perfect venue for the Long Ash Challenge and La Casa Del Habano is proud to be the partner of this much anticipated event for avid cigar smokers,” said Serena Ong, Country Manager of The Pacific Cigar Company Malaysia, which operates La Casa Del Habanos Kuala Lumpur.
